RECONSTRUCTION Affidavits of Notice were presented, approved and ordered placed on
file.
Engineer Houle indicated the Woodhill Neighborhood project included reconstructing the
roadway and upgrading the storm sewer system along West Shore Drive from West 70th
Street to West 66th Street. Staff recommended sidewalks be installed as part of the project
because of the amount of traffic on the roadway.
Paul Pasko, and Chad Milner of Short Elliott Hendrickson, presented the Woodhill
Neighborhood project and responded to questions from residents.
Public Comment
Mike Glas, 4221, Dunberry Lane, stated that curb and gutter should be treated equally for the
entire area.
Rose Mary Utne, 4529 Laguna Drive, indicated she liked the plan but suggested the west side
could be re-surveyed. She commended staff with their responsiveness to the residents.
Donald Freeman, 4705 Dunberry Lane, suggested fixing the roads but do not include lighting
or sidewalks in the project.
John Fernands, 6905 West Shore Drive, advocated installation of sidewalks and wondered
what would happen in the future with more traffic.
Michael Harrell, 6813 West Shore Drive, said he feared the loss of privacy with sidewalks and
reminded the Council the survey said no to sidewalks.
Dave Hatzung, 6708 West Shore Drive, added the area was casual and sidewalks were not a
good fit.
Ellie Hayward, 6625 West Shore Drive, suggested installation of a STOP sign at Laguna or
low level speed bumps may be a help but not sidewalks.
Doug Maxwell, 4712 Wilford Way, said there should either be sidewalks on both sides of the
street or none at all.
Nicole Schnell, 6605 Southcrest Drive, advocated installation of sidewalks on South 66th
Street.
Richard Swanson, 4804 Wilford Way, questioned whose responsibility it would be for costs
associated with the repair of sewer pipe joints. Mayor Hovland said sewer charges would be
borne by all the residents of the City collected in the sanitary sewer utility fund.

because of mature trees and a privacy issue even though he has young children.

Minutes/Edina City Council/November 6, 2006
Steve Coleman, 6704 West Shore Drive, questioned the process of road reconstruction. Mr.
Houle responded when a number of utilities were involved, no technique was available to do
the improvements all at one time. Mr. Coleman added he was not in favor of sidewalk
installation.
Kurt Smith, 6600 West Shore Drive, added there may need to be retaining walls installed to
curb the accidents that have ended up on their lawn.
Following testimony from residents in the Woodhill Neighborhood, the consensus of the
Council was to exclude sidewalks and lighting in the proposed reconstruction project.
Member Masica made a motion to close the public hearing seconded by Member Housh.
Ayes: Housh, Hulbert, Masica, Swenson, Hovland
Motion carried.
Mr. Hughes suggested that if the Council was going to approve the roadway project but hold
on the sidewalk improvement, then the sidewalk issue should be referred to staff for a new
feasibility report. That report would then be presented to the Council which would then
decide whether or not to call an improvement hearing for just the sidewalk.
Following a Council discussion, Member Housh introduced Resolution No. 2006-99,
Roadway Improvement Project BA-337, Woodhill Neighborhood Sewer, Water and Street
Reconstruction and moved approval. Member Hulbert seconded the motion.

Engineer Houle noted the Southdale First Addition Neighborhood project would reconstruct
Cornelia Drive from West 70th Street to West 66th Street. Because of the amount of traffic on
the roadway, staff recommended sidewalks be installed as part of the project. Mr. Houle
indicated the estimated assessment cost per residential equivalent unit was $9,300.00.

but not the sidewalk.

Minutes/Edina City Council/November 6,2006
Paul Green, 6945 Southdale Road, spoke to his submitted letter. He indicated the project was
too expensive for people on fixed incomes and he shared charts depicting residences opposed
to installation of sidewalks.
Ron Rasley, 6709 Southdale Drive, stated residents should have had a longer notice period
for such expensive road construction. He said residents may have wanted sidewalks and
lighting until they realized they had to pay for them.
Nora Davis, 6921 Southdale Road, thanked staff for all the information made available to the
residents and said she was in favor of the road reconstruction project going forward.
Tim Johnson, 6609 Southdale Road, voiced concern with the proposed 'build-out' and asked
staff to be sensitive to the costs of the project.
Gary Judson, 6609 Cornelia Drive, said residents were well-educated about the project and
stated his approval of sidewalks and added that change was good.
Dave Kruger, 6905 Cornelia Drive, stated he was in favor of sidewalks for area safety.
Greg Moon, 6813 Cornelia Drive, indicated he believed the City should have done a better job
years ago. He was not in favor of sidewalks and voiced concern with the loss of trees.
Bill Doll, 6920 Cornelia Drive, said he approved of sidewalk installation and road
construction. He voiced concern with traffic speed.
Gary Torgerson, 6800 Southdale Road, stated he was not in favor of lighting or sidewalk
installation and said this was the consensus of the neighborhood.

Charles Taber, 6932 Cornelia Drive, stated that safety was first and he favored sidewalks.
Ted Seward, 6937 Cornelia Drive, indicated his approval of sidewalk installation.
Elizabeth Hirschey, 6804 Southdale Road, asked why the costs were so high for the road
reconstruction. Mr. Pasko said the cost was at$400 a linear foot for a 30 foot wide road.
Gene Persha, 6917 Cornelia Drive, said he and 89% of residents were not in favor of
sidewalks. He voiced concern with the tree replacement offer, police enforcement on bike
paths, and fast drivers of school buses and City vehicles. He stated the main concern was
traffic.
Al Lugo, 6909 Southdale Road, suggested the focus, the fix and the assessment should be on
Cornelia Drive.

Minutes/Edina City Council/November 6, 2006
Gail Davis, 6953 Southdale Road, said the project has been presented clearly from the
beginning and stated the corner of Southdale Road and West 68th Street was deplorable.
Lisa Roberts, 6801 Southdale Road, indicated residents do not obey STOP signs on 681h Street
now additional signs will not slow traffic. She said joggers and bikers will not use the
sidewalk and prefer the street and taxes should cover road reconstruction. Mr. Houle said
general fund budgeted street items were for seal coating, pot-hole patching, and minor
maintenance.
Judy Cane, 6813 Southdale Road, inquired whether the cost of maintaining roadways could
be deducted from the reconstruction costs. Mr. Houle said there were no funds set aside to
reconstruct roads.
Mike Glas, 4221 Dunberry Lane, inquired why residents have to call in street repair concerns
when City vehicles travel the streets. He suggested rocking and tarring the street for another
10 years of use as well as slowing down traffic with enforcement.
Charles Taber, 6932 Cornelia Drive, suggested saving tax payers money, forgetting sidewalks
and fixing the streets with some traffic control devices.
Sandy Phillips, 6800 Cornelia Drive, voiced concern with cut through traffic. She suggested
looking at the timing and length of the project. Mr. Houle added on November 28,2006, from
7 - 9 PM, an open house will be held at Braemar Golf Course. The public will be notified in
the West 70th Street Corridor. The study will take approximately one year.
Mr. Pasko noted the road reconstruction project should take about three months.
Paul Green, 6945 Southdale Road, suggested tabling the issue for five years.
Member Housh made a motion to close the public hearing seconded by Member Hulbert.
Rollcall:
Ayes: Housh, Hulbert, Masica, Swenson, Hovland
Motion carried.
Correspondence was received from Julie and Ted Seward, 6937 Cornelia Drive, in favor of
road reconstruction, lighting and sidewalks. Larry and Amy Olson, 6808 Cornelia Drive,
wrote in favor of the reconstruction and asked the location of the sidewalks be studied
further.
Avis and Dennis Meuwissen, 617 Cornelia Drive, letter asked the Council to consider the
large majorities' opinion that no sidewalks be installed as proposed.
Because the Council was sympathetic to residents who stated that sidewalks were
unnecessary and would change the neighborhood character, the Council decided not to
include sidewalks in the proposed neighborhood street reconstruction project.

THE CITY CODE TO PROVIDE NEW REQUIREMENTS FOR THE STORAGE AND

to take their trash to the curb, the amendment prohibits haulers from charging customers
more to pick up trash at the house or garage.

PRESENT Les Wanninger, Chair of the North East Edina Traffic Study and Marie Cote,
Principal, SRF Consulting Group, Inc., presented the final report of the Northeast Edina
Transportation Study as completed by the committee. The consultant, study advisory
committee and Transportation Commission found four steps would be necessary to improve
traffic flow and safety in northeast Edina:
1. Improve Minnesota Highway 100
2. Divert traffic onto intended peripheral arterials
3. Identify safety improvement opportunities for residential areas and develop a public
relations campaign focusing on individual respect/responsibility affecting behavior
and attitudes
4. Develop proposed parking solutions and fund a master plan for residential area safety
improvements by Edina and Minneapolis staff and business associations
The Master Plan would include an integrated set of intersection improvements for the three
main business intersections in the area and would require the loss of some on-street parking
on France Avenue.
Page 7
Minutes/Edina City Council/November 6,2006
The Council could consider funding elements of the Master Plan during the next capital
improvement program and since benefits accrue to a large area, Council members indicated
they will not seek special assessments for the improvements.
Mr. Wanninger recommended adopting a resolution approving the entire report as per
recommendation of the entire Transportation Commission on September 7, 2006. He
suggested that the resolution should include all the Residential Area Safety Improvement
Master Plan measures be included in the City's Capital Improvement Program.

HOUSING SUCCESSION PLAN FOR EDINA'S FUTURE RECEIVED Doug Mayo,
member of the East Edina Housing Foundation and Reverend Carol Mork, from the Edina
Community Lutheran Church, reported their Housing Succession Plan for the future of
Edina. The Council will use the Housing Taskforce Plan as the basis for the housing section in
the next update of the Comprehensive Plan. Of the more than 21,000 households in Edina,
more than 9,000 have incomes of less than $50,000 per year; nearly 5,000 have incomes of
$25,000 or less. Of the 9,000 households, approximately 7,200 pay 30 percent or more of their
income for housing, a standard measure of affordability. Lower and moderate income
workers in Edina were often priced out of its housing market. As housing values outpace the
incomes of those who have helped create higher property values, it becomes difficult for
Edina to be their home.
Mr. Mayo, explained the Edina Affordable Housing Taskforce, a committee of Edina's
Human Rights and Relations Commission, developed recommendations around affordable,
lifecycle housing in Edina which included an inclusionary zoning policy, leveraging existing
housing resources and establishing long-term affordability by helping to finance 500 units of
affordable housing.
Correspondence was received from Arlene Forrest, President of the Edina League of Women
Voters, applauding the Edina Affordable Housing Task Force and their efforts.
Following a brief discussion Council Members indicated their support of the Housing
Succession Plan, Mayor Hovland moved that the City Council receive the Housing
Succession Plan with the understanding that it form the philosophical basis for the
Page 8
